Bryan, you gotta be warned that some women have a very different reaction to Blue Velvet than many men. Those women, and likely some men, don't see it voyeristically the way many men do, or as a dream, or as some weird combination of dream and reality: they feel and experience the torment that Isabella Rosellini's character feels and experiences, which is awful and degrading.

I don't mean to generalize too much. I just know that some women have expressed exactly that experience of the flick.
